any nearby waterways. emergency folks are here and they will not be allowed back until the scene is mopped. again southbound 101 is completely going to be open but we believe it will be extremely slow going because they still have to up right the tanker and siphon all of the gas out of that area. tara moriarty ktvu channel 2 morning news. new this morning, almost 20 people in san jose including children are looking for new homes after an early morning townhouse fire. joining us live telling us how they are doing and also the latest on the investigation, janine? >> reporter: we are here on snell and obviously this fire is out and you can't tell it is damaged from out outside because most of the damage is in the back but it is completely destroyed and the families are trying salvage
